4th of July Family Reunion

Over the 4th my side of the family got together for a little camping and boating fun. The meeting spot, Deer Creek. the weather, hot, the fun, memorable. We enjoyed 2 nights of camping and 3 days on the water. The cousins had fun and so did the adults. It brought back memories from when I was little and we would go camping here. Here are a few memories that were made during this trip:

1)My boys excitement and eagerness to go on Poppa's boat
2)Alex up at the crack of dawn, bouncing in the tent
3)meeting and holding our newest nephew, cousin Chase
4)spending 3 whole days with Eric not having to work
5)my two younger brothers wrestling in the water (at least there was no mud thrown this time)
6)all the yummy junk food
7)smores by the fire at night (ever tried one with reese's peanut butter cups?)
8)Andrew burning his finger in his excitement to get the marshmallow
9)water fights (I still owe my niece Brittany)
10)talks on the beach while watching the kids play
11)The laughter
12)the boys joy when riding on the tube
13)Andrew so excited to get a fishing pole
14)DAIRY KEEN to end the trip (chocolate ice cream shake with reeses)YUMMY!
Thanks mom and dad for getting us together and for being who you are.
